Description
DVD-R. A feature length documentary that follows three distinct grou.ps of commercial mushroom pickers as they travel on the 'mushroom circuit,' a year-round migration that can take them anywhere from Alaska to California, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, to harvest wild mushrooms from public forests. When commercial mushroom picking took off in the 1980s, it immediately attracted some of the most disenfranchised groups of society: Southeast Asian refugees from the Vietnam war who had difficulty finding work because of discrimination; Mexican and Guatemalan immigrants escaping poverty from their countries; rural Americans out-of-work due to the decline in the logging and fishing industries; and back-to-the-landers who didn't fit in the 9-to-5 lifestyle. Having little to lose, they took to the woods hoping to regain control over their lives. They have created a subculture of outcast gatherers who depend on a deep knowledge of nature and, most importantly, on one another.
